Can you browse your audio via tags.  Or is it just able to browse via
folder structure?  I know the older cowon only had folder structure
browsing.  Which is the downside to being able to just drag-n-drop the
music because no software is building a database of the music on the
player.  However the player could monitor changes and build/update the
db when this happens however that requires a decent amount of
processing time.  Not sure if recent portable hardware can handle this
in a timely manner.

Side question - Why is having the ability to "drag-n-drop" music so
important?  I understand not wanting to be tied to iTunes, many 3rd
party software exist that support the ipod and other players.  Heck
some of them you do not even need to install on the machine and can run
it from the ipod. http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

Personally I find sync'ing playlists is far more useful and easier for
me.
